Words 297. Competition for Flash Fiction. Thought I'd use character Gloria used before.
Tri-State Bank internals Julie and Rosie, sit eating their lunch in the staff canteen. Julie choking on her salad as she laughs at Rosie's gossip "No, way Rosie, he didn't did he?" she laughs.

"Oh, he did Rosie and what's worse he doesn't know the double meaning!".

"Is there a problem here girls?". Julie yelps in fright and both look up. At the end of their table is uptight marketing director Gloria Stingerfang. Her taut lips struggling to manufacture a false smile. Her usual black two piece black business suit earned her the nickname Dark Vader.

"Eh No!" replies Rosie glancing at Julie who was wearing a WTF expression on her face.

Gloria takes frowning to a level both girls didn't think possible. "Oh, we do have a problem girls!!. This is a place of business and your both dressed like it's a night club"

Julie puts down her knife and fork on her plate "we are going for a team meal later"

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!!" Gloria extends out her hands "mmmmmmm I'm going to the gym later, perhaps I'll bin my suit and wear my training gear, what about tomorrow? why don't I wear my pyjamas as I'll be going to bed later?????"

Rosie feels her cheeks go rosy "we thought it would be okay".

Gloria stamps her right foot on the ground in anger "Well it's not alright!!. In here we hire businesspeople not hussies!!".

Rosie gasps in disgust "We're not hussies!!, our manager said it was okay to dress down!".

Gloria's lips become more taunt "there is a difference between dressing down and wearing almost nothing!!. I'm a senior corporate businesswoman, if I dressed like that in a client meeting, they would throw fifty dollars at me and ask for a dance! who is your manager?"
